Doodles and sketches from this week, since I've been busy with school and working on chapter 2.
I guess nobody knew of secret technique, "Boomerang Cowlick"!
Doodled it at a night class with the lights turned off, hence the roughness...

A sad because of the theft and plagiarism of traditional motives and designs from the originary groups of by the fashion industry.

My grandma is publishing a book of chronicles on this topic and requested this illustration from me for the cover. Glad I did it.

In latest update, looks at a shield with a deer crest. This actually appears in the animation as well. That's because it used to belong to Donaji's father. His identity is still a mystery though.

Many years ago, after I had created I found out that the triangular poncho (quesqueme) is actually a female-only garment. It is kinda funny that a fierce god like Chicahualizteotl is wearing one, so I made a medieval equivalent to see how they would look.

Here's the full background of my comparison, because some of my faves were hidden behind.
It goes from oldest to most recent works.
I excluded all the expressions I've drawn for the webcomic though, since that's a whole new chapter in Donaji's history hahaha

Recently I found the very first drawing ever I did of when I created her in 2011, so here's a little comparisson since then with current Donaji.
(In the original 2012 palette her poncho wasn't red!)
In the background, 7 years of Donaji towards the future,

Really liked this feeling guilty panel I did while drawing some pages for Chapter 2.
Not a finished work at all, but she's really cute so may as well share it for anyway.

character icons!
I’ll make one for each important character, so expect to see more of these as the story goes on.

Inspired mostly on mixteca-puebla style codices and the monster icons from Monster Hunter games.
My fave is because of her smile :>

4 years of improvement visible in running cycles; 2014 VS 2018
It would be much more noticeable if I actually did animation more often though.

the Obsidian Butterfly.
Goddess of sacrifice, queen of tzitzimime.
This interpretation of her is mostly based on Codex Borgia. Also for the Donaji and deers animation.

New character design for Donaji & Itzcacalotl the webcomic.
I'm still working on it! Doing good progress, now working on the prologue, which you'll see hopefully soon.
Her identity is secret for now.
